Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe aim of this article is twofold: first, to show that, in Plato'sHippias Major,Hippias is the mouthpiece of a materialist ontology; second, to discuss the critique of this ontology. My argument is based on an interpretation ofHippias Major300b4–301e3. I begin by revealing the shortcomings of P. Woodruff's and I. Ludlam's interpretations. Next, I define the concept of materialism as it was understood in ancient Greece (Democritus) in order to outline the specificity of Hippias' materialism. Finally, I argue that the opposition between the two characters of theHippias Majorrepresents in fact an ontological opposition between two conceptions of what a unity is, i.e., Hippias' elementary corporal unities and Socrates' “formal unity.”

Abstract:
This paper offers a detailed analysis of the first part of Hippias's speech in Plato's Protagoras (337 С 5-E 2). The aim of this analysis is to show the very richness of political notions and implications of Hippias's purpose, which one can be almost considered a sort of 5th century ВС philosophical hetairies's manifesto. Our analysis clarifies the meaning of Hippias's nomos/physis antithesis and it focuses on the philosophical value of these two terms. We try to reconstruct Hippias's conception of positive law and to specify the concept of wise men's relationships and affinity. That, however, does not support the idea of a cosmo-politanism grounded on mankind's universal relationship. Hippias's position – which has to be grasped on the basis of Hippias's ontology explained by an important passage of Plato's Hippias Major – rather sustains the idea of a sort of "aristocratic cosmopolitanism" connected to the philosophical hetairies: that implies the recognition of verified and enhanced differences.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Marina B. McCoy
This dissertation investigates the role that eros in general, and philosophical eros in particular, plays in the search for the eidos of the beautiful in Plato’s Hippias Major. It defends the claim that noesis of the eidos of the beautiful can only be accomplished within the life of philosophical eros, that is, within the life of eros which is directed toward the good. As such this dissertation aims both to provide an interpretive key to the Hippias Major, allowing us to read the dialogue in a rich and novel way, and also to make the claim that the Hippias Major presents us with a picture of the interrelation between eros, philosophy, and beauty, and about how these three elements manifest themselves in human life. As such, some continuities and parallels can be found between it and the other two dialogues which deal most explicitly with beauty and eros, the Phaedrus and Symposium. The first five chapters interpret a particular section of the Hippias Major according to role the eros plays within it, attempting to show that eros, both in general and in its unique manifestation as philosophical eros, is a crucial mediating term for any comprehensive understanding of any section of the dialogue, and therefore of the dialogue as a whole. In each of these five chapters, I will articulate the role that eros plays within the search for obtaining a noetic glance at the eidos of the beautiful. The first chapter demonstrates how Socrates’s philosophical eros gives birth to the question about the beautiful itself within the context of a discussion about sophistry and money. The second chapter shows how Socrates’s philosophical engagement with Hippias’s definitions of the eidos of the beautiful generates a dialectic of ascent, allowing Hippias to expand his understanding of what counts as beautiful in a trajectory that mirrors Diotima’s ascent in the Symposium. The third chapter articulates the erotic significance of Socrates’s claim that the eidos of the beautiful inheres in being and not appearances. The fourth chapter gauges the erotic significance of Socrates’s and Hippias’s claim that the beautiful is good, and the good beautiful. The fifth chapter interprets the comic and tragic aspects of the dialogue in terms of philosophical eros, its rejection and fulfillment. The sixth chapter will take stock of the overall interpretation of the Hippias Major developed in the first five chapters, and will present the overarching view about the relationship between the contemplation of beauty, on the one hand, and desire for possession of beauty and moral concern, on the other, which one can glean from the character and action of Socrates in Hippias Major. It will bring this view into a conversation with the notion of “liking devoid of interest” which is found in Kant’s Critique of Judgment. The conclusion of this dissertation will underscore the principle claim, that the philosophical search for the eidos of the beautiful can neither be separated from the eros which beauty inspires in a human being, nor can it be accomplished without one’s eros benig directed toward the good, and that this philosophical search is marked by suffering and possible tragedy

Abstract:
My dissertation is an interpretation of Plato’s Hippias Major, in which Socrates investigates τό καλόν (usually translated as “the beautiful” or “the noble”). My reading of the Hippias Major focuses on the importance of appearing beautiful, to others and thereby to oneself, and reveals the way in which the impulse to appear beautiful is connected to the desire for the immortal preservation of oneself and one’s own. The impulse to appear beautiful is essential to political life, insofar as the pleasure of praise effects a kind of harmony between the private good and the common. This impulse, however, is also a fundamental impediment to Socratic philosophy, as it prevents the critical examination of oneself and one’s opinions, while hindering a truly erotic experience of the beautiful. In examining these issues, my dissertation seeks to establish the Hippias Major’s connection to and consonance with other more popular Platonic dialogues, such as the Republic, Symposium, and Phaedo.

Abstract:
Las cátedras del Área Griego de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la UNLP han desarrollado desde 1993 material didáctico de teoría y práctica de la lengua griega para subsanar la carencia de este tipo de información y de ejercitación en lengua castellana, ya que la mayor parte de las metodologías se hallan en lengua inglesa. Para tal fin fue creado un método propio de enseñanza publicado bajo el título de <i>Griego Clásico. Cuadernos de Trabajos Prácticos. Serie Mitos</i>, una colección que cuenta con 6 volúmenes y que ya ha obtenido una reedición a cargo de la EDULP, a raíz del éxito alcanzado. Dicha colección se ha constituido en una marca de identidad del equipo de docentes de La Plata, frente a los especialistas del país. El presente libro es el primero de una nueva serie que viene a complementar y ampliar esta última colección, bajo el título <i>Griego Clásico.Cuadernos de Textos. Serie Diálogos Platónicos</i>, con el que se propone una lectura ágil de los llamados “diálogos menores” de Platón para un segundo nivel de griego. Se ha seleccionado el texto del diálogo platónico llamado Hipias Menor en la edición de John Burnet (<i>Platonis Opera, Vol. Hippias Minor</i>, Oxford, 1903) al que se le incorporó la numeración seriada por línea con el fin de facilitar la “Preparación del Texto” mediante la resolución de las dificultades previsibles en un segundo nivel de aprendizaje del griego. Del mismo modo que en las anteriores propuestas, el criterio aplicado procura la resolución dinámica de las dificultades del texto así como la ubicación de espacios y personajes y la identificación de argumentaciones de modo que se enriquezcan sus conocimientos tanto del lenguaje filosófico como de la utilización del mito. En el caso específico del diálogo elegido para esta ocasión, Hipias Menor, se ha ponderado, además la apropiación de textos homéricos que Platón coloca en boca de Sócrates y de su interlocutor.

Abstract:
The third of three chapters exploring the history of homesteading, this chapter analyzes the counterculture back-to-the-land movement in the area around Berea, Kentucky. Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork, the chapter illustrates that this is a major social movement, far more enduring and robust than stereotypes of “hippie” back-to-the-landers would suggest. The chapter shows that participants represent a multistranded left with diverse backgrounds, including a high proportion who are from rural Appalachia; that they take subsistence production seriously; and that homesteading represents a specific, “prefigurative” form of social activism. The chapter also explores the complex relationship between counterculture homesteaders and their rural neighbors, and argues the former are unified as a group by high levels of literacy and educational attainment; they represent, in effect, a rural intelligentsia.

Abstract:
Peyote is one of the best-known plant sources for a psychedelic experience. This small cactus is also associated in the popular mind with North American Indians and Hippies. Although its ritual use is thought to be over 7,000 years old (Furst 1989, cited in Schaefer 1996: 141), its use by Indians of the Native American Church (NAC) is less than 100 years old. The peyote button is the essential ingredient in the ritual ceremony associated with NAC meetings and is referred to as “the medicine” by those who regard the button as a god-being and ingest it as a sacrament (Slotkin 1956: 29; Smith and Snake 1996: 80, 91, 105–6). Even more recently, non-Indians have formed churches (the Neo American Church) to follow the Peyote Way or Road (Trout 1999: 47). Secular uses of peyote are as medicine, especially for topical application to the skin on open wounds (Schultes 1940), for divination to discover something lost or when possible attacks of the enemy will occur; or for mind-altering experiences of a nonreligious nature, that is, for recreation. These nonritual (profane) uses have a long history, but peyote’s more significant sacred use in the United States, as measured by numbers of participants, has been in force for little more than 100 years. Various plants are called peyote in Mexico (Schultes 1938: 157), and their usage in the public and official literature of Texas and the United States has not been precise over the years (Morgan 1976: 12, La Barre 1975: 14–17). The major confusion over the common name among field anthropologists and government officials has been with the mescal bean, or Texas mountain laurel [Sophora secundiflora (Ort.) DC]. This hardy, small tree produces a hard, highly toxic, red seed, which has had a long history of ritual use by Amerinds (La Barre 1975: 15). The distribution of the mescal bean is on the southern edge of the Edwards Plateau, on the caliche cuestas in the Rio Grande Plains, and in the mountains of the Trans-Pecos. The native Americans of this region strung the beans into necklaces or bracelets, and a shaman might have passed down to another shaman some of these items as important paraphernalia.

Abstract:
O estágio de vivência é um período em que os alunos vivem em comunidades rurais e assentamentos com o objetivo de discutir a necessidade de profundas reorientações dos padrões de organização socioeconômica da agricultura para alcançar o desenvolvimento sustentável, caminhando para a produção de alimentos de melhor qualidade, livre de pesticidas e produzido de forma mais ecológica e segura. (CAPORAL,2002) Embora a agroecologia e o consumo sustentável estejam diretamente relacionados, o simples ato de consumir produtos agroecológicos não garante que o consumo seja sustentável, assim como o consumo sustentável não basta para que se estabeleçam processos de aprendizado coletivo em tal atividade econômica. (SANTOS e CHALUB-MARTINS, 2011). Até há pouco tempo, a maioria das pessoas imaginavam que a agricultura orgânica, também chamada de agricultura sustentável, natural, biológica, ecológica ou agroecologia era coisa de sonhadores, de hippies ou mesmo de loucos. Entretanto, nos últimos anos, no mundo inteiro, esta agricultura dita alternativa deixou de ser um sonho, um ideal de poucos e passou a ser uma realidade, um negócio como qualquer outro, porém com um diferencial social (TAGLIARI et al. 2002). Com intuito de elevar a produção de alimentos surgiu entre o final da segunda guerra mundial e o início da década de 1960 a revolução verde, a agricultura convencional aumentou significativamente a produtividade, dobrando a produção de alimentos entre os anos de 1950 e 1984 (SOUZA & RESENDE, 2006). Com o mesmo propósito teve início a produção dos produtos orgânicos na Índia, a agricultura orgânica surgiu de trabalhos do pesquisador Sir Albert Howard entre as décadas de 20 a 40 na Índia. Sua base mestra é a manutenção da fertilidade do solo e da sanidade geral das plantas e animais pela adubação orgânica, diversificação e rotação de culturas (PENTEADO, 2000). No entanto, ganhou forma apenas no início do século XXI quando o modo de produção vinha sofrendo duras críticas e a preocupação com a saúde aumentou em conjunto com o consumo de alimentos livres de produtos sintéticos (DIAS et al. 2015). As vendas de alimentos orgânicos nos Estados Unidos aumentaram de aproximadamente US $11 bilhões em 2004, para cerca de US $27 bilhões em 2012. Visto isso, este relato tem como ponto fulcral demonstrar a importância do convívio prático de alunos de agronomia com comunidades e família de cunho agroecológico, possibilitando uma maior interações entre o saber científico e o empírico.

Abstract:
Most metals start their lives in the liquid state, and are subjected to various transfers involving pouring or other types of surface turbulence. These actions entrain (fold in) the surface film to create entrainment defects. These are principally (a) bubbles that in turn create bubble trails; (b) bifilms; doubled over surface films, that act as cracklike defects; and (c) sundry entrained debris, collectively known as exogenous inclusions. The bifilm is the subject of this perspective. It appears to be a common, but serious and almost overlooked metallurgical defect. Analysis of bifilms provides a simple, powerful and elegant concept based on an enduring legacy from turbulence during the pouring of liquid metals. Usually large populations of bifilms are introduced into metals at an early stage of their production. In general their presence has been unsuspected because although they can have large area, they can often be only nanometres thick and not easily detected by conventional non-destructive techniques. The populations of cracks in suspension in liquid metal explains many otherwise inexplicable features of cast products such as porosity, hot tearing, the morphologies of second phases, and impaired reliability of mechanical properties. The fundamental difference between such entrained defects (associated with a macroscopic unbonded interface) and defects and inclusions grown in the melt is seen to be of central significance for the failures of metals by mechanical or corrosion type mechanisms. For wrought products the continued presence of bifilms, now usually extended and elongated and mainly occupying grain boundaries, appears to offer explanations for many metallurgical phenomena. Bifilms are likely to influence the development of texture, and are the most likely source for many types of failure in the solid state. Thus the limitations to superplastic forming, cavitation in tertiary creep, pitting corrosion of various types and stress corrosion cracking are likely to be profoundly affected by bifilms. Although the effects of bifilms can be reduced by expensive post-casting operations such as hipping or working, the major future potential lies in techniques for their avoidance. Some casting operations are already taking some first steps in new technology for their avoidance, and benefiting technically and commercially.
